34. The first glow after the snow
"Senior brother, senior brother, Sister Lin is playing the piano, listen!"
On the post road, Qingqing poked his head out of the carriage and said to Shen Qiu, who was riding on a horse:
"It's "Yangguan Three Stacks" Alas, Sister Yaoqin said that this song is specially used to bid farewell to the deceased."
"Really?"
Shen Qiu pulled the reins of the horse, closed his eyes, and listened attentively, the sound of the piano was faintly beside him, tactful and long, coupled with the vast post road around, there was really a kind of artistic conception hidden in it.
The normal sound of the piano can't travel that far.
Lin Huiyin should have used true qi to make the sound of the piano condense and not disperse.
"It's really heartfelt."
Shen Qiu chuckled lightly, and he said:
"I didn't know that she still had such piano skills."
"Not good."
The young girl sat on the carriage beam, and she said in a big way:
"It's just rough and smooth, Sister Lin's piano skills are not everyone.
You have also heard Sister Yaoqin play the piano in the past, her piano skills are the pinnacle, and even the most famous singer in Jiangnan, Shen is praised by everyone. ”
Shen Qiu shook his head, and he said to Qingqing:
"You're still young, you don't understand, it doesn't matter if this piano is good or not, it's mainly the artistic conception."
Qingqing couldn't help but pursed her lips again.
Her eyes rolled, and she whispered:
"Senior brother, do you like Sister Lin?"
"I like it, but I can't talk about it."
Shen Qiu was also very calm, and he said to Qingqing:
"It's just some appreciation, a normal woman, like her, who has experienced such a tragic thing, I'm afraid she would have collapsed a long time ago.
But she can still hold on to the present, and she is indeed superb.
She reminds me of those back home... is also like her, living like a towering tree, tall and tough, not those vines that are entangled in the tree, and can only live by relying on men. ”
Shen Qiu sighed with emotion, he looked down at Qingqing, and said:
"I know that there will always be people who tell you that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and this is all stupid talk. My family will live as a big tree in the future, you know?
It is very sad for a woman who only knows how to rely on men. ”
"I don't understand, I don't understand."
The little junior sister covered her ears and stuck out her tongue at Shen Qiu, which made Shen Qiu laugh.
After a while, the sound of the piano of "Yangguan Three Stacks" had already died down.
But there still seems to be an aftermath.
Qingqing sat on the side of the carriage, waving the horsewhip casually, she was thinking about things, and after a while, she said to Shen Qiu:
"Then what you say, Sister Yaoqin is also a big tree? She didn't rely on a man or a husband, so she supported the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop. ”
"Yes, Yaoqin too."
Shen Qiu said:
"It's just that Yaoqin and Lin Huiyin are two completely different ... How should I describe this to you?
I just feel that Yaoqin is always deliberately keeping a distance from other people, even if it is the people around her, even if it is facing you, it is not so frank.
She seemed to be guarding some secrets, secrets that only she knew. ”
Shen Qiu shook his head, and he said:
"Forget it, let's not talk about that."
He hooked his finger at Qingqing and said:
"You come to ride a horse, change me to the carriage, I'm a little tired, I want to take a nap, if something happens, just call Xiao Tie, or those Mo family uncles, understand?"
"Oh."
Qingqing stood up and took a few steps forward flexibly on the bumpy carriage, like a dexterous little monkey, stepping on the wheels of the carriage and jumping up.
Carrying the Phantom Footwork Lifting Technique, it landed lightly on Shen Qiu's horse.
She raised her eyebrows triumphantly at her senior brother.
Meaning, Senior Brother, do you think I'm doing this Kung Fu practice?
Shen Qiu sneered, he jumped off the horse, his toes touched the ground, his body was three points faster, and he swept into the carriage like a swift shadow, if Qingqing hadn't been watching, she might not have noticed Shen Qiu's movement.
Obviously, when Shen Qiu received Lin Yundong's true qi before, he had a new understanding of the use of this phantom footwork.
This made Qingqing pout dissatisfied.
In the past, when the master was still there, she was the smartest one in the family.
But now, this stupid senior brother is practicing martial arts faster and faster, and he is becoming more and more like a martial arts genius.
It's like a stubborn stone, which has been worn away by experience, and finally reveals the jade in it.
"I won't lose to you."
Qingqing clenched her fists and secretly cheered herself up in her heart.
She decided that after returning to Suzhou this time, she would put away her mind and practice the longitudinal technique taught by her senior brother, as well as those secret weapon techniques.
She also wants to help her brother like Xiao Tie and Li Yijian.
Instead of every time something happens, the senior brother has to want to settle her down before he can act.
This made Xiao Qingqing feel like a senior brother's oil bottle, and she also saw with her own eyes what powerful martial arts Xiao Tie hid under his simple appearance that night.
Now among the three people in the dart game, she is the weakest one, and this feeling is really unpleasant.
Shen Qiu didn't know the little junior sister's determination to make up her mind.
He was sitting cross-legged on the rickety carriage, concentrating, sword jade in hand, sinking into a dream, but not for the sake of fighting.
In reality, there were always various things that would interfere with Shen Qiu's attention.
But in this dead dream, he was able to enter the state of meditation and pranayama as quickly as possible.
Now that he has said goodbye, he is about to start practicing the Xue Ji Mind Method.
This is Shen Qiu's current level, the highest level of internal strength that can be started, and it is also the top level in the rivers and lakes.
There must be better internal skills on the rivers and lakes than Xue Ji's mental method.
But if you think about it with your ass, you know that it is definitely impossible for Shen Qiu to come into contact with now.
This set of mental methods is what he is now.
And even for a long time to come, the best choice.
The best thing was that he had personally experienced the healing effect of the warm healing of the Xue Ji True Qi that was peaceful in the middle, and he had already had some experience in the use and operation of the Xue Ji True Qi.
Shen Qiu relaxed his body and spirit to the most comfortable state, he took a deep breath, and the true qi operation diagram of Xue Ji's mental method appeared in his mind.
It is completely different from the heart method of the rivers and lakes, and the route of the fish intestine gong.
It is not from the heart to the lower dantian.
Instead, it is necessary to run many acupuncture points on the chest, back, shoulders, neck, and waist for a week, and then it will merge into the lower dantian, and then start from the lower dantian, and travel to the legs and feet.
Then through the second vein of Rendu, through the spine back to the arms, fingertips, and finally back to the heart.
Among them, there were at least twelve vital acupuncture points, which Shen Qiu had not dared to touch before.
Those acupuncture points are the "dead holes" of the legends of the rivers and lakes.
There are 36 death points in the human body, which are divided into four types: soft numbness, dizziness, minor injuries and serious injuries.
There are nine of them, which are the natural weaknesses of the human body.
If there is no guidance, the true qi will be hard to rush to these acupuncture points, and the meridians will be abolished, diseases will arise, the essence will escape, and the meridians will be damaged and the whole body will be paralyzed.
and even death.
Fortunately, Xue Ji's mental method describes in detail how to use true temperature to nourish acupuncture points and then break through the method, which is the valuable knowledge summed up by those amazing predecessors.
In terms of the complexity of the qi alone, the Xue Ji Mind Method is at least ten times more than ten times that of the Jianghu Heart Method.
The more complex it is, the more it flows through the acupuncture points, the better the effect.
"Let's start with Tanzhong."
Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and put it on his chest, where there was a large acupoint of the human body, he spread out the true qi in his body, and according to the description of the mental method, it was pushed like flowing water, so that it slowly wrapped the acupuncture point and the surrounding meridians.
It's like putting an egg in water, lighting it from the bottom of a pan, and heating it little by little.
Not in a hurry, not impatient, following the trend, this is one of the characteristics of Xueji's mental method.
This process requires a lot of patience.
Shen Qiu spent a whole day and a long night in the sword jade before he finished warming the acupuncture points in Tanzhong.
At dawn on the second day, the True Qi breaks through this acupuncture point and activates the surrounding meridians.
Then with experience, the speed of rushing to the cave increased in vain.
The group of three people returned to Suzhou by boat from Yueyang, because it was downstream, so the speed was faster than when they came, and it took five days and six nights on the way to reach the vicinity of Taihu Lake.
After another night's rest and a day's travel, I returned to Suzhou.
That night, after Qingqing and Xiao Tie had already fallen asleep, Shen Qiu walked out of the house and sat cross-legged on the ground under the night sky in the small courtyard of the dart bureau.
Tonight, he will complete the circulation of the true qi of the Xue Ji Mental Method in one go.
The twelve dead points included in the heart method have all been broken through, and the acupoint meridians have also been warmed and activated in a few days.
Shen Qiu held the sword jade in his hand and sank into a dream, he calmed his mind and looked at his body as if he were meditating.
In the past half a year, the true qi he raised slowly dissolved in blood from the beating heart, and pushed into the limbs and hundreds of remains, and these true qi circulated rapidly in the body according to the luck route of the fish intestine gong.
After a small Zhou Tian was completed, Shen Qiu's finger was pointed at his heart, and the true qi that should have continued to flow was blocked.
They accumulate in the heart, and after a stick of incense, the true qi has continued to form a clump, so Shen Qiu let go of his fingers, manipulated the qi mass, and entered the Tanzhong acupoint first according to the application route of Xue Ji's heart method.
"Smack"
True Qi filled the acupuncture points, just like a dry water nest was filled with water again, and Shen Qiu's chest let out a muffled sound, and it was also painful.
It's like a wedding night.
Where no one has ever been, today the Pengmen is open for you.
Well, it's okay to have an inner flavor.
When the sandalwood is filled with cyclones, the true qi flows to the next acupuncture point, like a star map in the body, and those nodes are ignited one after another.
Naturally, there is no need to say much about the acupuncture points that have been broken away in the past, but those twelve death points that have just been broken away, every time they fill the true qi, they will bring a little pain to Shen Qiu.
The real trouble is that Xiao Zhoutian, the movement of the Xueji Mental Method, is extremely complicated, and it covers 80% of the acupuncture points in the human body.
There are hundreds.
Shen Qiu had to complete this complex cycle in one go, otherwise he would lose all his efforts.
This was quite exhausting, and by the time he reached a third of the exercise, Shen Qiu's face was already pale in his dream, and he felt that the true qi inspired from his heart was a little unsustainable.
It is still a short time to practice internal strength, and the total amount of true qi accumulated in the body is insufficient.
But Shen Qiu did not give up.
He endured the pressure and exhaustion in his mind and spirit, and continued to complicate the flow of true qi.
Those acupuncture points that were lit up, when Shen Qiu looked at his body, were like looking up at the glittering sea of stars, forming a picture similar to a "small universe" in his body.
Evil is beautiful, evil is spectacular.
It's like Shen Qiu is trying his best to complete a complex building block with his clumsy hands.
Halfway through the journey, Shen Qiu's true qi was exhausted, and the moment the circulation was interrupted, his body exploded like a bomb out of control, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
His breath was disordered at this time, and most of his body was cut by a needle and a bayonet.
Shen Qiu didn't hesitate, grabbed the knife in his hand, and wiped his neck neatly.
The next moment, he reshaped his body in a dream.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground, and started again.
And the Xueji True Qi circulation route in his body has already been completed halfway... That's why he had to complete the cycle in his dreams.
For others, only failures can be accumulated, and continuous failures can accumulate into a tragedy in life.
But for Shen Qiu, who was holding a sword jade, victory could also be cumulative!
A victory piece by piece.
It will eventually push him into the final victory.
"Come again!"
Shen Qiu's fingers were pointed at his heart, as before, accumulating qi masses and rushing into the sandalwood, this time there was no need to start over, and that true qi flowed quickly along the half-completed cycle.
It's like in the dim sea of stars, one after another the stars burn, and half of the starry sky is lit up in an instant.
This initial true qi completes the cycle of Xiao Zhoutian, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.
Shen Qiu's second attempt was stuck at two-thirds.
On the third attempt, four-fifths of the way was done.
At the end of the fourth attempt, in Shen Qiu's expectant inner vision, the tumbling true qi finally broke through the last death acupoint, Taiyuan, and returned to his heart by extending the big acupoint of his arm.
At this point, in Shen Qiu's body, a complex and beautiful small Zhou Tian Star Diagram was truly completed.
In the beating of his heart, the true qi continued to run in this recombined Xiao Zhoutian, and the bones of Shen Qiu's whole body were stirring, as if there was a sound of foam crushing, and they quickly became one.
The time of this small weekly cycle for a week is 5 times longer than that of the Jianghu Heart Method, and 2-3 times slower than the primary fish intestinal exercise.
But every time it is lucky, every week, the true qi accumulated in Shen Qiu's dantian is more than ten times that of the Jianghu Heart Method!
What's even more amazing is that because of the 12 hidden ** positions in circulation, this new true qi is very condensed, and it also emits a warm white light.
Its posture is just peaceful, and it does not need Shen Qiu's manipulation, so it slowly rotates at the lower dantian.
It's like a cyclonic storm.
This is the pure Xue Ji True Qi, which has all kinds of wonders, and is fundamentally different from ordinary True Qi.
It flows through the meridians in the body, warming the flesh and bones, making Shen Qiu feel like he is lying in warm water, the temperature is comfortable, and the whole body is warm and enjoyable.
It can also warm up the qi and increase the strength of Shen Qiu's muscles.
It can also eliminate fatigue, so that he can fight for a longer time, and even run for a long time.
This Xueji True Qi is the authentic heart method of the Daomen, and it is the best at healing.
Dark injuries in the body, fierce battle scars, or serious illnesses, poisoning, etc., can quickly recover in true temperature nourishment.
Lin Yundong was paralyzed by the strange poison in his body, but he could still maintain his sanity and life, so that the strange poison did not enter his heart, all thanks to the help of the thick snow Ji true qi in his body.
And this wonderful internal strength, Shen Qiu also has it!
He looked inward at his body, looked at the True Qi Star Map in his body, which was really lit up like a small universe, and felt the changes in various parts of his body.
It is really like the snow and the wind startling the first glow, and the morning sun sweeping the shadows.
Shen Qiu's twilight qi was swept away, and the true qi in his body was dignified, like the rising sun, and like a big river, rushing into the sea, nothing could stop it.
He opened his eyes, and it was just before dawn, the darkest hour of the day.
Shen Qiu stood in the courtyard, casually twisted the bamboo branches on the ground, and shook his wrists in the dark night, Xue Ji's true qi swayed endlessly, and the bamboo branches trembled, bringing up five afterimages in the dark night.
It's just the beginning, and it's so wonderful.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and used the bamboo branch as a knife to dance in the night.
A trip to the newly practiced Heluo Qiu Wind Knife was sprinkled out, the wind in the courtyard was whistling, and when the morning sun was born, Shen Qiu swept forward.
Between the bamboo branches, shadows and shadows of knives are scattered everywhere.
"Hahaha, what a trick after the snow..."
Shen Qiu threw away the bamboo branch and laughed loudly in the morning sun, forced to be complacent.
It's just that his move is neither a Daomen martial art, nor is it called the first day of the Snow Queen, it is purely a feeling.
However, it is also quite imposing.
